We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on Manufacturing Operations Manager to lead day-to-day operations in our rotomolding facility. This role is key to driving safety, quality, and efficiency while developing a high-performing production team. If you know plastics manufacturing inside and out—and can streamline operations without sacrificing quality—you’ll thrive here. If relocation is something you would consider, this role is based around the Charleston, South Carolina area and assistance can be considered, depending on experience.

Oversee production scheduling, staffing, material flow, and equipment utilization
Lead and mentor production teams across multiple shifts to hit safety, productivity, and quality targets
Monitor KPIs and drive improvements in throughput, waste reduction, and downtime
Enforce safety standards, OSHA compliance, and training programs
Collaborate with engineering, maintenance, and quality teams to solve problems and improve processes
Manage inventory and production planning to meet customer demands
Use lean manufacturing and 5S principles to optimize workflow
Oversee mold maintenance, material changeovers, and cycle time improvements
What You Bring As An Operations Manager
5+ years of leadership in plastics manufacturing (rotomolding experience strongly preferred)
Proven success managing teams in a fast-paced, high-volume production environment
Strong knowledge of rotational molding processes, materials, and equipment
Solid understanding of safety regulations, quality systems, and performance metrics
Experience implementing lean/continuous improvement practices
Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
Technical or engineering degree a plus, but not required
Why You’ll Love It Here As An Operations Manager
Competitive salary + performance bonus
Full benefits (health, dental, vision, 401k, etc.)
PTO and paid holidays
Influence the future of a growing manufacturing operation
Supportive leadership and a collaborative, team-focused culture
